Rumours are beginning to circulate that Quentin Tarantino is remaking a soft porno from 1965 called "Pussycat!Kill!Kill!". Premise of the story is that a stripper goes ape shit, kills her boyfriend with her bare hands, takes a girl hostage, has hot sex with her, and then the movie ends with horrendous violenece.

This sounds like something straight out of low budget movies 101.

Don't get me wrong. I think Tarantino is a very accomplished director and an okay actor. But after planet terror, is he really going to risk his career over something like this? Planet Terror was an okay movie, but it should not have been packaged with Death Proof, which was fucking great.

The part of the psychotic stripper is also rumoured to be thrown at Britney Spears, which i seriously doubt will happen. I am not Chris Crocker, but I do have sympathy for the girl. She has absolutely no handle on life, and either has or surely will do irreparable harm to her kids and herself. To throw something this raunchy and blatantly sex driven at someone like that is a major fuckup. Either she won't do it and will think less of herself for being offered something like that, or she will do it and it will just screw her up even more. Either way bodes bad.

I also saw some cool stuff on AOTS, links provided.

It is officially Football season again!!! The LONG offseason is officially over and football season has begun, so once again I have reason to breathe meaningful breath.  The Hall of Fame class of 2008 was enshrined (however much of a travesty it was that DT was not a member RIP)  and the Hall of Fame Game was played with the Washington Redskins defeating the Indianapolis Colts 30-16, in meaningless preseason action.  Preseason is boring yes, it is nearly worthless, but it does provide a chance for young guys to make a lineup and join in the greatness that is the NFL.  Especially as a Chiefs fan this preseason is exciting because out of the 80 players we took to camp 35 were rookies, and only 13 guys have more than 5 years NFL experience.  Our preseason kicks off Thursday (technically tonight) at 7:00 pm in Chicago against the Bears.  Next week we open the season @ home against the Arizona Cardinals.  As a new season ticket holder, I am extremely excited for the upcomming year.  Go Chiefs!!!!

 In other NFL news BRETT FAVRE IS A NEW YORK JET!!!! This is insane.  He has the heartfelt, tearfilled retirement back in March.  Over the last several weeks there has been an ongoing soap opera between Favre and Green Bay and he officially came out of retirement 3 days ago.  He went to Packers camp 2 days ago, yesterday he was sent home, and today he is officially traded to the New York Jets for a conditional 4th round pick that could go as high as a 1st round pick if he leads the Jets to the Super Bowl (not gonna happen).  It is going to be very strange seeing #4 in another uniform besides Green Bay, and kind of depressing.  It will remind me of the awkwardness it caused seeing Emmitt Smith in a Cardinals jersey, Rice in a Raiders/Seahawks jersey, and even Montana is a Chiefs jersey (although that looked REALLY good).  It just doesn't fit, this is going to be very awkward this season, and any Favre fan will agree with me on that point I do believe.

 Finally to the meat of the matter the NFL landscape looks interesting this year, the Patriots are no longer able to cheat so they may not be quite as amazing as they have been in recent years, however, they do still have Tom Brady and Randy Moss and Wes Welker etc. etc. etc.   So they still have to be the favorite to be the top team in the AFC.  So my AFC prediction in light of the Brett Favre Trade are as follows : East- Patriots 14-2, Jets 10-6, Bills 9-7, Dolphins 3-13; South- Colts 11-5, Jags 11-5, Titans 8-8, Texans 6-10; North- Browns 11-5, Steelers 10-6, Bengals 7-9, Ravens 5-11; West- Chargers 12-4, Chiefs 8-8, Donkeys 8-8, Raiders 0-16 (not serious just hopeful, serious would be 4-12).  Patriots and Chargers with byes in the playoffs Browns as the 3 seed Colts as the 4...Jags as the 5 and Jets as the 6 seed, Chargers to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl.  As for the NFC in light of the Favre trade the Packers take a big step backward and will no longer be a top team over there but my NFC prediction goes as follows:  East- Cowboys 13-3, Eagles 11-5, Giants 9-7, Redskins 8-8; North- Vikings 12-4, Packers 9-7, Bears 7-9, Lions 5-11; South- Saints 10-6, Bucs 8-8, Panthers 6-10, Falcons 2-14; West- Seahawks 11-5, Cardinals 10-6, 49ers 6-10, Rams 4-12.  Cowboys and Vikings with byes Seahawks as the 3 seed and Saints in @ 4...Eagles at 5 and Cardinals at 6, eventually giving way to the Cowboys representing the NFC in the Super Bowl against the Chargers and losing.  San Diego to win the Super Bowl and get a ring for LT and give credit to Marty Schottenheimer for building that team into what it is.  The only reason I don't pick the Cowboys to win is because I don't have a lot of faith in them to win a playoff game period considering they haven't done so since 1996 when ironically enough they were defeated by Brett Favre and Green Bay in the NFC Championship. 

 Once again it is Football season again let all rejoice and be glad.

There are a few times that I wish I had a large amount of television channels for only those one or two channels that I need to enjoy more soccer games. I missed practically all of the Champion's League competition, save for a replay of the final game. Luckily though, for the Euro Cup 2008, ESPN2 has been picking up a lot of the games! Although, if the interwebz provider here at work would provide ESPN360, then I could just watch all the games on the interet. Like that's going to happen.

So what's the good news from Euro 2008? Portugal is into the second round of play after winning their group. Turkey makes it in as well after the most amazing second half of soccer I think I've ever seen, coming back from a 0-2 score with Czecheslovakia on top. Did I mention they did this all within the last 15 minutes?

Today's big games are Germany vs. Austria and Croatia vs. Poland. Germany hasn't been performing as well as most had thought, and it'd be a big upset to see them not in the second round of play. They have to win to go on, since Austria will overtake them in points if they beat Germany. 

What about the US Men's National Team? Well I'm glad you asked. After winning the CONCACAF Gold Cup by beating Mexico in the final, the team has been looking pretty good. Just the other week in a match with Argentina, they managed to end the game in a draw. Not bad, considering Argentina is FIFA ranked no. 1! Just yesterday the US MNT trounced Barbados 8-0 in the beginning of World Cup 2010 qualifying matches. They'll play them again in a week or so, and then move on to various other Central and South American national teams. In the mean time, the US Under-23 team is in the Olympics in a group with Japan, Netherlands, and Nigeria.

There's been a lot of maturing on the team, along with some great additions. The goalie's have always been fantastic, with them coming from such notable clubs as Manchester United and having participated in multiple World Cups already. I'm sure many of you have heard of Landon Donovan, and he's come a long way. He passes the ball more and is less showy, which is good. Now I yell at my tv less. But then we've got Freddy Adu, who's helping the Under-23 team kick some Olympic ass. Demarcus Beasley, Bocanegra, Dempsy, Ching, Conrad, and Johnson have all come a long way since last World Cup. 

So my hope is that in two years I'll be enjoying some fantastic World Cup play from a much more developed US team where they can finally reach the success the US Women's Team has been having for quite some time.
